History WMG / Animorphs

* This would explain why he didn't just morph to escape after he crashed and gave the Andalites their powers. He claims he's "too weak to morph", but maybe he was just too embarrassed to admit the truth or something. As for why he couldn't just use the morphing cube with him to get new morphing powers: he's still technically a nothlit.

Even so, if Andalites were to get over their arrogance and their nature as {{Heroism Addict}}s, an Andalite-Leeran alliance would have meant game over for Yeerks' invasions in any front.

** Cassie: Would be Sweet Cassie and Savage Cassie. The former would take her moralizing, compasionate nature and her role as TheHeart, the later would take her more cynical and animalistic side.

** How is bombing the Yeerk pool akin to a terrorist attack? They're targeting a militar facility installed by a hostile faction in their own land.

*** But the reason that the former Visser Four infested John Barryman in the first place was because he was demoted following the loss on Leera. Why would the Animorphs making it so the former Visser Four had to infest somebody else get him promoted back up to Visser Two so quickly? He was hardly going to be in a position to do anything spectacular to regain his rank after Leera.

*** That does make sense. Had Visser Four not discovered the Time Matrix when he was controlling Barryman, he would have still ended up being Visser Two because Visser One wanted to have someone powerful on his side for once.

This was all brought about by John Barryman's yeerk realizing a new point in history he could exploit. The Black Mesa incident interfered with the Time Matrix and opened up hundreds of new worlds to invade. He set off and built his own new empire, and then came back to start the Seven Hour War.

** Marco: As Fanfic/AllAssortedAnimorphsAus proposed, it would be Shallow Marco and Robot Marco. The former would take his sense of humor, flirtatious nature, and strong emotions, and the latter would be a ruthless, emotionless tactician.

** Whoever wrote this theory is also a Controller, taking advantage of the fact that Wiki/TVTropes generally dismisses every WMG concerning reality as "not real, just for a laugh/making some odd sense." Therefore, you, writer, are trying to make us think your theory is too wacky to be true. And it ''almost'' worked...Tom.

[[WMG: ''Everybody'' on Wiki/TVTropes is a controller.]]

If the Yeerks somehow tried to infest Deadpool they'd find him completely immune to their control. With his insanity and ability to break the fourth wall, any Yeerk who manages to infest him would likely die of immediate brain death, similar to what happens to Professor Xavier in Deadpool Kills the Marvel Universe ([[gold:''[HEY! Spoilers!]'']] - SelfDemonstrating/{{Deadpool}}).

Tom was infested only a short time before the series began, based on Jake's comment in ''The Invasion'' that Tom's been distant from him recently. He's also Jake's motivation for joining the war, and Jake was one of the two Animorphs who weren't chosen to "stack the deck". Not to mention that Tom is more of a CosmicPlaything than the Animorphs; he has no agency, yet is critical to the endgame.

* TVTropesWillRuinYourLife, after all. Glory to the Empire.

The series, as well as most of RealLife, seem to support that HumansAreBastards. My theory is that the Cryak originally intended the humans to be one of his pawns, like the Yeerks, but he realized that he had made a tactical error by giving the humans weaker bodies and relying on their intelligence to make them dangerous. So he just left them to their own devices, letting them be evil.

* It's a legitimate point, but think about it for a second: the only humans we've seen act at all helpful to the Ellimist were the Animorphs (and their families), and they were under the direct influence of andalites (namely, Elfangor and Ax). Other than that, humans have done nothing to help either the Ellimist or the Cryak, directly or indirectly, and we have a lot more potential to fight for the Crayak's side.

[[WMG: the human race is a WildCard that the Ellimist and Crayak are fighting over.]]
